Debate is now over. It is time to vote on amendments. The Council shall vote on amendments until 1300 GMT on February 22nd, 2021. There is one amendment, proposed by Councillor Francis Plessis:
Amendment 1:
Section III: Retribution
IV. Member-states may have the option to ensure that the money provided in the loan is spent in the manner that was agreed upon by sending a team of inspectors from their own nation, the EU, or both.
V. Member-states that have been found to intentionally have violated the agreed terms may be persecuted through the European Court of Justice for immediate repayment of the loan with an interest payment to the loaning member-state and may be barred from the ELE in a loan taking or providing procedure for no less than one year. This entire clause shall not be applied if it has been founded that the violation was only done intentionally by an individual or group of individuals, who shall be the ones persecuted for the violation and not the member-state on where the violation took place.
I vote FOR the amendment.
